DISPENSING DISPLAY STAND.

Application filed February 23, 1923. Serial No. 258,088.

This invention relates to a display stand for a vending container.

The chief object of the invention is to pr vide a stand for a. containeradapted to contain a liquid to be dis aensed, which stand includes adispensing nozzle and a chamber to receive the liquidfrom the container.

The chief feature of the invention consists in the formation of thestand in two parts and the detachable association therebetween. bothparts being made of glass or other suitable vitreous material andadapted forthe reception of display or advertising matter, if and whendesired.

Une feature of the invention consists in the accomplishment of theforegoing object, and another feature of the invention consists in theformation of the stand such that it is adapted to simultaneously supporta Iii rality'of liquid containers having different liquids to bedispensed therefrom.

The full nature of the invention will be understood from theaccompanying drawings and the following description and claims: i

In the drawings Fig. 1 isa central sectional view of a multiple standardand dispensing device with partsin detail. Fig. 2 is a top plan view ofthe standard proper with the globes or containers removed therefrom, thesection line l1 indicating the section in which Fig. 1 is taken.

In the drawings 10 indicates a globe or container having the neck orthroat 11 and a standard 12 at its upper end ineludes'an annular seat 13defined by a flange 1 1 for supportin said globe or container. A gasketor washer 15 is provided if and when desired. The globe 10 may besuitably colored and provided with. any type of ornamentation that it isdesired to disclose, and said globes are of the standard type now incommercial use. The standard 12 includes a liquid-contaming chamber 16having an outlet 17 and mounted in said outlet 17 is a dispensing nozzle18 of the usual or preferred character. Herein the exterior of thestandard is ornamented by corrugations as at 19 but the same may beotherwise formed for receiving suitable advertising or display matter,and said standard furthermore may be made of glass or other vitreousmaterial of any desired color to match the globe or container 10. *Thetubular standard 12 is closed the plate or base portion 20 having a flatface 21, and herein depending from said flat face and top 26 isapertiu'cd as at centrally threaded exterior 23.

'lhe'base consists of a hollow outwardly and downwardlyinclined bodyportion 24 having a base supporting flange 25, and a top face portion 26having the face 27 adapted to engage face 21 of the standard. The 28 andthe threaded projection extends into said aperture with a slightclearance.

A retaining member includes the plate 29 adapted to engage the undenface30 of the top portion of the base and extending, from one face ofsaid'plate 29 is a threaded tubular portion 31 adapted for threadedengagement with the threaded projection 22. A

hnger piece 32 of suitable conformation is secured to the opposite faceof the plate portion 29 so that the clamping and anchoring membercan bethreaded on to the threaded projection and bear upon the apertured facemember.

' As shown clearly in both figures, the base 24 is multiple in characterand adapted to support a plurality of standards, and herein two innumber. and each standard in turn supports a liquid container or globeand each dispenses a liquid of suitable character. ilerein the multiplestandard is so arranged that each end is semi-circular in l'iorizontalsection and the, ends are connected by tangential walls. If desired,each wall, and preferably the interior thereof, is recessed as at 33 toprovide a pocket adapted to re ccive advei in or display matter, itbeingunderstood that in this event the base is formed of transparent orsemi-transluccnt material. if desired, pocket 33 may be positioned uponthe exterior surface of the base if and when that said base is opaque orsemiopaque in character, and then said pocket would receive upon theexterior of the base suitable advertising or display matter. it willalso be apparent that each of the standards12 might be of differentcolor from each other and from the base, or the standard might differfrom the base in color, thus permittin contrasting color arrangements.

One of the advantages of having the standard 12 of ass is that it issanitary and can also be readily cleaned but will not have any corrosiveaction upon the contents in the chamber 16. If the standard and basewere formed integral the resultant loss by reason of breakage, Warpage,shrinkage, crackling and cracking would be enormous.

thereof is a projection 22 having a An attempt to make a multiplebase'is practically impossible not" only by reason of the cost of themold construction, but also by reason of the unequalcooling strainsincluded a multiple base is shown herein, a single base may be employed.

The inventionclaimed is:

1. In combination with a container adapted to contain liquid to bedispenser a hollow base having an upper face including an aperturetherethrough, a tubular standard having a container supporting portionadjacent its upper :end and a base supported portion at its oppositeend, a peripherally threaded projection on said base supported portionand receivable by said aperture and threaded means engaging saidthreaded projection and the base for clainpingly Y securing the standardand base in unitary arrangement.

2. In combination with a container adapted to contain a liquid to bedispensed, a hole low base having an upper face, a tubular standardhaying a container supporting portion adjacent its upper end and asupporting face at its lower end, one of said faces including anaperture extending therethrough, a threaded projection on thenon-apertured face and pro ecting into said aperture when o. incombination with a plurality of similaicontainers, each adapted tocontain a liquid to be dispensed, a hollow base having an uppersupporting iace portion for each container, a tubular standard't'or eachc0ntainer and supporting the same at the upper end and including a baseface engaging race portion, one 01? each. pair or engaging face portionsincluding an aperture extending therethrough a threaded projection onthe nen-apertured face portion of each pair of said engaging pair oiface portions and projecting into the adjacent aperture, 'and hreadcdneans for each projection engaging the adjacent apertured face portionfor clampin ly uniting each standard to the common base in unitaryarrangement.

In witness whereof, I have hereunto aiiixed my signature.
